How to Play

Control your custom skater from an isometric perspective, navigating various urban environments to complete goals like high-score challenges, collecting letters to spell S-K-A-T-E, and performing specific tricks. Use the D-pad to steer and build speed. Press and hold the jump button to prepare an ollie, releasing it at the lip of ramps or near rails to get airborne. Combine directional inputs with the action buttons to execute flip tricks, grab tricks, and grinds on edges.

To maximize your score, link your tricks together using reverts and manuals to maintain a continuous combo multiplier. Watch your balance meter closely during grinds and manuals, using subtle D-pad adjustments to keep from wiping out. In the early game, focus on completing story goals to unlock new areas and stats, and save your high-scoring special tricks for when your special meter is completely filled.

Browser controls and troubleshooting

If the keyboard does not respond, click the game screen first and check the actual key mappings in the player controls. Arrow keys scrolling the page can mean the game does not have input focus.

On a phone, check whether the player provides touch buttons. Try landscape or fullscreen if the controls are too small. After connecting a gamepad, press a button with the game focused and check whether the player recognizes it.

For a black screen or a stalled load, wait briefly before using Reload player or Browse games in the embedded player or play page. Reloading restarts the player and may lose unsaved progress. If no save option is available, do not rely on refreshing to preserve progress.
